Is it possible to change the sound a brush makes when you walk on it?

[dRastic1337]

I'm trying to create a jail map, and I have some stairs that are actually a ramp so that players traverse them smoothly. However, the CLIP texture does not make the metal sound that the stairs should make. Is there some way that I can change what substance the clip is made out of, so that it makes a different sound when walked on?

Thanks!

Edit the VMT of the texture you want changed. You have to extract it out of the GCF and place it in materials/.... (after materials its the same as found in the GCF)

In materials in which folder on my computer?

steamapps/USERNAME/Counter Strike Source/cstrike/materials/...

:blink: Sorry, I'm confused.

The only place there is a toolsclip.vmt is in my srcds folder, which I'm sure isn't even related to any of my Source SDK stuff. I'm also not sure how to go about "editing" a VMT file.

Would you be able to give me a step-by-step walk-through of what I need to do?

Thanks for your help thus far.

Download GCF Scape

Install GCF Scape

Run GCF Scape

Open the GCF that contains the material's VMT you want to edit. This may include Source Materials or CSS Client.

Extract the VMT

Open and edit the VMT in notepad. The material type is what defines the sound it makes.

Save VMT to desktop (for now)

Copy VMT to /steamapps/USERNAME/CSS/Cstrike/materials/... (same file path as the GCF after after materials

Restart Hammer as well.

Ah, thank you! I see now!

Now, how can I make it so anyone who downloads and plays on my map also hears the same sound when they walk on the stairs? Is this possible?

You will need a tool called Pakrat
